• First of all, think about your statement, about your brand philosophy and what kind of emotions you want to transmit with your photographs.

Yoga positions are extremely photogenic, but also as a yoga teacher you should find the balance between the stunning visuals and the spirituality.

When you figure out what you, as a yoga teacher is standing for, think what kind of content you need and where you’re going to post it on: Instagram, Website or Facebook.

Every single platform has its own rules and you need different formats.

Make sure to be specific about it and to talk it through with your photographer.

• Inspire and be inspired.

Make a small research and prepare a mood board with the poses that you would like to photograph.

Note down a list of poses you’d like to include during your session.

The best is to have a variety of standing poses, balances and backbends.

• Always remember about the light.

If you want your photos to be taken with a natural light, remember that the best time is early in the morning or just before the sunset.

In studio your photographer should arrange additional light if needed.

Never forget to play with the shadows, lights and reflections. You can get really magical and unique effects.

• Think about the location and style. Would you prefer a photoshoot outside or in a studio?

Both are great.

Studio has more minimal vibe, might be more consistent with your online visual strategy.

Outside shoots give you more freedom and a variety of backdrops.

You can find excellent urban minimal locations or connect with the nature. Specially in places like Barcelona you have an insane amount of possibilities.
